grape juice boost if you agree
@carmilla this aint it chief
@pbandkate @carmilla whoa kate. I thought you were cool.
@elchapo @carmilla i do not FUCK with grape juice
@pbandkate @elchapo grape juist doesn't want to be fucked. it wants to be cradled, gently sipped, and relished for its rich flavor and nutritious qualities
@carmilla @pbandkate @elchapo no that’s wine
@theinternet @pbandkate @elchapo wine is bootleg grape juice. dionysus. more like doucheysus
@carmilla @theinternet @pbandkate @elchapo grape juice is wine for people with a toddler's grasp of delayed gratification
@mardiroos @theinternet @pbandkate @elchapo that's what the romans thought and look where it got them. a fuckin pope
@carmilla @mardiroos @theinternet @pbandkate @elchapo hi the romans mixed fish sauce with their wine this has been your daily dose of classics
@pbandkate @secondary_world @carmilla @theinternet @elchapo they also used to eat fish they practically caught in the sewers
@mardiroos @pbandkate @carmilla @theinternet @elchapo cloaca cloaca! Pray to the toilet god or else be full of caca Jesus Christ I’m sorry
@secondary_world
Surely this was done as a sauce for their chicken nuggets and not as a drink, right
@carmilla @mardiroos @theinternet @pbandkate @elchapo
@secondary_world @carmilla @mardiroos @theinternet @pbandkate this is why the Roman Empire fell. forget the other stuff. it was the fish wine 100%.
@elchapo @secondary_world @carmilla @mardiroos @pbandkate the empire fell because huge cannon balls can melt stone walls
@theinternet @elchapo @carmilla @mardiroos @pbandkate THIS IS A FUCKIN GOOD TAKE THE EMPIRE EXISTED UNTIL THE FALL OF CONSTANTINOPLE
@carmilla @theinternet @elchapo @mardiroos @pbandkate I can only understand this as a reference to the flaccid Latin Empire, so
@secondary_world @elchapo @carmilla @mardiroos @pbandkate CONSTANTINE XI LAST TRUE ROMAN EMPROR, NOT ROMULUS AUGUSTULUS
@theinternet @secondary_world @elchapo @carmilla @pbandkate there has never been a true roman emperor, LONG LIVE THE REPUBLIC
@mardiroos @theinternet @elchapo @carmilla @pbandkate “Sulla, you fool, you’ve destroyed the Republic!” —Plutarch, probably
@secondary_world @mardiroos @theinternet @elchapo @carmilla @pbandkate “Gaius Gracchus, you forgot the fish sauce, how are the populari supposed to drink all this Welch’s grape juice? You are no Tiberius.” - Suetonius, likely

Today we are going to recreate ancient Roman cuisine, by mixing Manischewitz with surströmming.

@secondary_world @carmilla @mardiroos @theinternet @pbandkate @elchapo If you're referring to garum, I don't think "fish sauce" adequately prepares moderns for what the hell that was (it was fermented fish puree).
@carmilla @theinternet @pbandkate anti wine takes are bad praxis, sad to say
@elchapo @carmilla @pbandkate yeah but have you heard about champagne? Hating champagne isn’t bad praxis
